I was so satisfied that I couldn't even manage dessert! The chef's attention to detail was excellent, and my praises even prompted a personal greeting from him. Truly a highlight of my stay!” view full review

I had a mixed experience at Protea Hotel By Marriott Johannesburg Wanderers. The location is great and the breakfast was a standout, but I faced issues with room quality and service. The air conditioning was a problem, and check-in was less than welcoming, which put a damper on my stay.

The hotel is situated in a nice, safe area which is close to the business center-definitely a plus for me, as everything I needed was nearby. It's also only about half an hour from the airport.

Breakfast was delicious with a good variety, and I had one of the best filet steaks I've ever tried from their dinner menu. Overall, the dining experience was a highlight.

The amenities are decent, but the gym gets crowded in the mornings, and the outdoor pool could use some warmth. WiFi was also insufficient, which was frustrating.

I had a great time at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Wanderers! The location is unbeatable, right near the Wanderers cricket ground and with lovely views from my room. There were some renovation sounds, but they didn't bother me too much. While I enjoyed my meals, especially breakfast, some aspects of room service could use a boost.

The location is perfect for cricket fans like me, just a short walk to the Wanderers stadium. It's also great for exploring nearby areas like Melrose Arch and Rosebank, but it does sit near a busy road.

The breakfast was a highlight with lots of options, and my fillet steak for dinner was one of the best I've had. The restaurant's atmosphere was nice, but I did find room service lacking in variety and quality.

My stay at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Wanderers was decent, though it didn't quite stand out. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made my experience pleasant overall. However, the location felt quite isolated, and the hotel had a standard atmosphere that seemed more suited for business travelers. The breakfast options were good but could use more variety.
Rooms

The hotel's location was not ideal for tourists. I felt it was safer to stay indoors at night. It's a bit far from attractions, which made it somewhat inconvenient for my plans.

The breakfast buffet had some good options, including an omelet station. Dinner at the restaurant was pleasant, and I enjoyed the burger I ordered. Still, I think the food variety could improve for more adventurous tastes.

The hotel had some nice amenities like a small pool and a gym, but the pool was quite small for my liking. I did appreciate the free Wi-Fi in the lobby, though it was inconsistent on the upper floors.
